Jason McAteer, former Liverpool footballer, revealled the results of his hair transplant treatment

“I was really conscious in my footballing days of my receding hairline, especially as it became just as much about the TV appearances and magazine shoots as the game itself. Each day I was worried how long I had to last,” Jason said.

The surgery was carried out by a robot in Manchester by hair restoration specialist, Farjo Hair Institute.

Jason added: “There’s a stigma about these this of thing, but it’s as easy as popping into a spa nowadays. The team at Farjo really put me at ease, and I’m thrilled with my restoration results.”

The Farjo Hair Institute carries out over 400 operations each year at its Manchester & London clinics. More than 5,000 people have travelled from across the UK, Europe and as far as the Middle East, Australia and the United States to be treated at the clinic.

Jason, who retied from football in June 2007, had total transfer values of over £9million during his career.

“Banter” about his hair loss followed him from club to club during his career, and so Jason began to get self conscious.

He said: “I’ve come from a generation of football where it changes - there was a lot of media that came into it, a lot more modelling going on, a lot more fashion. There was a lot more emphasis on the way we looked,” he said.

Since retiring he has played in charity football matches, appeared regular as a match analyst on LFC TV and married his wife Lucy Edwards.

Baldness is thought to run in the family. Men who worry about hair loss often think if their father isn’t bald that means they won’t lose their hair either.

If you want to make your hair look fuller you need to be very specific with your hairdresser about the shape you want.

A bald head is the very realistic nightmare that half of British men can expect to face by the age of 50. A bald man can resent his shining head and many pay out large sums to try and save his crowning glory.
